Former Denver Bronco tight end, Nate Jackson’s memoir of NFL life, Slow Getting Up got a nice write-up in The New York Times. I hadn’t heard of him either. There is, as you’d expect, much dish on injuries, their prospect, recurrence, treatment and inevitability. With two teams, Jackson spent six years playing pro ball, which, we learn, is twice as long as the average length of an NFL career.
